    I can't seem to get the calculator to work correctly on my Resilience quiz. I want to add up all the values in the 11 questions and then divide that by 11 (the number of questions) to get a final score. Can you help me fix this? Thank you!

    Upon checking, I found that the "Score" field is missing the + operator symbol. Please add that and it should calculate the total correctly.

    Thank you Jed_C. I appreciate your help. I did that and the score seems more reasonable.

    However I believe how I have the "Number of Questions" - is incorrect (11). I am trying to divide by 11 when I think I should divide by the number of "best answers" which is 33. Is that right?

    I'm trying to get the score more accurate. Can you help? Thanks!

    The best way to get the total score, should be adding all the fields. I do not think that dividing the total of all fields by the number of questions is necessary.

    If you want to divide the total by 33, then you should be replacing the default value in the field "Number of questions" with 33.

    Another Suggestion: Since you have used multiple choice field elements for the questions, I would also suggest that you enable the limit of each question, so that users do not select more than one answer for each question:
